The Maritimes: Day Three
The Maritimes: Day Two
Today started with the drying of our mattress and sheets. Turns out, our little teardrop wasn’t quite ready for 8 straight hours of oceanside rain!

We encountered some fairly gnarly roads, a couple of low creek crossings, saw several great potential camp spots, and enjoyed an incredibly beautiful lake.
